PORTSMOUTH — Portsmouth’s Friends Forever will host their annual Pints for Peace event on Sunday May 19, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Hundreds are expected to gather for a pint in downtown Portsmouth to raise funds for Friends Forever and help grow world peace. There will be more than a dozen restaurants and bars participating.

Pints for Peace is Friends Forever’s signature fundraiser. Structured similar to a walk-a-thon, participants have the opportunity to form fundraising teams and solicit support from family, friends and co-workers. Guinness will provide the first 500 participants with a limited edition T-shirt and pint glass.

Individuals must register in advance at www.pintsforepeacenh.org. Participation is based on a minimum of $25.00 per person raised. Once participants reach this fundraising minimum, they will receive one Pints for Peace™ T-shirt, one Pints for Peace Guinness pint glass, and three Guinness sponsored drink tickets to be redeemed at participating bars.

All of the event’s proceeds will go to Friends Forever. If they reach their goal of raising $50,000, Friends Forever will be able to offer its programs to twenty Jewish and Arab youth from Israel, and 20 Protestant and Catholic youth from Northern Ireland.

Based in Portsmouth, Friends Forever is an independent 501 (c) 3 whose mission is to create trust, empathy, and friendships among cultures in conflict by working with international and local youth leaders. Serving as the liaison between U.S and International communities, Friends Forever allows people of all backgrounds to participate first hand in the international peace process.

To register for the event go to www.pintsforpeacenh.org or contact Chelsea Fitton at cfitton@friendsforeverusa.org or 603-433-7607
